One primary obstacle is the persistent gender bias that exists within the industry, often leading to unequal opportunities for career advancement and fair compensation. This bias can be compounded when combined with racial discrimination, further marginalizing black women and hindering their growth. Moreover, black women may encounter limited access to mentorship and networking opportunities, which are crucial for professional development and career progression. The absence of relatable role models and mentors can make it more challenging for them to navigate the industry and overcome barriers.

Increasing visibility and representation can inspire future generations and challenge existing stereotypes.
